Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs rotisserie chicken, shredded (about 5 cups)
  • 1 cup paleo mayo (made with avocado oil)
  • 1 cup coconut cream (or cashew cream, or dairy-free cream cheese such as Kite Hill)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried chives or 1 tablespoon fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup hot sauce or buffalo sauce (recommended: Primal Kitchen)

For Serving

  • Carrot sticks
  • Celery sticks
  • Tortilla chips
  • Crackers

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small baking dish (about 1 quart) with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Shred Chicken: Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat using two forks until you have about 5 cups of shredded chicken.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, paleo mayo, coconut cream (or preferred dairy-free cream), garlic powder, dried dill, chives, paprika, fresh lemon juice, and hot sauce. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors. Taste and adjust hot sauce amount if you prefer it spicier.
  4. Bake the Dip: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned and the dip is bubbly and heated through.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired. Serve the dip warm with carrot sticks, celery sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • This dip can also be prepared in a slow cooker for convenience; cook on low until heated through and bubbly, about 1-2 hours.
  • Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of hot sauce used.
  • Use fresh chives for a brighter herb flavor, or dried if fresh are unavailable.
  • To keep it paleo and dairy-free, ensure all ingredients like mayo and cream substitutes fit these dietary needs.
